Generally speaking when software gets updated it's something we get excited about. But every once in a while an app goes rogue and pushes out a bad update that either breaks functionality or just makes the experience bad. Verge Editor-in-chief Joshua Topolsky's solution? Grab an older version from your backup.

We're big advocates of a backup system, and we like Crashplan because it's easy to use and stores everything both online and locally. The other benefit, as Topolosky points out, is that Crashplan (and other online backup solutions) also store multiple versions of your software. This means when an app pushes out an automatic update that destroys the functionality you can easily restore to the old version even if it's not available online anymore.
